The method may include dividing the current screen of the GUI into different content regions, each different content region having a region size value, and a region position value. The method may include classifying each of the different content regions as a content type from a different content types, generating a new window position value, and generating a new window creation command including the original window size value and the new window position value, and forwarding the new window creation command to the GUI.

Abstract: A representation of a calendar view is rendered on a user interface (UI), the calendar view indicative of one or more calendar days comprising a time span including a plurality of sequential time slots. A representation of a calendar event is rendered that is indicative of a scheduled meeting in at least one of the sequential time slots. The scheduled meeting is rendered without an icon or button operative to provide an interactive control to join the scheduled meeting. In response to determining that a scheduled meeting has started, the representation is updated by adding a status indication that is indicative of a current status of the scheduled meeting. The current status is provided without joining the scheduled meeting.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for visualizing data are provided herein. The described examples allow multiple data visualizations generated using multiple visualization tools to be displayed in response to a single data visualization request generated using a single visualization tool. A data visualization request can specify data for inclusion in a data visualization and properties for the visualization. Features can be extracted from the request and converted to corresponding features for other visualization tools. Both the visualization tool through which the request was generated and the other visualization tools can generate data visualizations for display.

Abstract: Techniques of electronic message generation using organizational data are disclosed herein. One example technique includes recognizing a contact a user previously communicated with in an input to an address field of a draft email in the email client. The technique can then include determining whether the input also contains a preset keyword or key phrase indicating an intention of the user to send the draft email to a related entity of the contact. In response to determining that the input also contains a preset keyword or key phrase, the technique includes querying a relationship map corresponding to the contact for an identity and email address of the related entity of the contact and surface the identity and email address in the email client as a suggested destination address for selection by the user.
